I just bought a base RSX w/ leather for $20,600. They gave me a deal b/c I did't want leather so they gave me leather for the price of cloth. I also threatened to go buy a civic SI. Needless to say they were quick to drop the price and through in the special lug nuts with out charge($100). then again I live on the East Coast in South Kakalaky. Good luck. OH buy the way the RSX base is about the same price as the Civic SI give or take a few hundred dollars and a heavier car.
